Chapter 2: Ye Chen’s Shocking Discovery!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chen looked at the reflection in the water. The green-skinned lizard was about fifteen centimeters long, and he was stunned.

It had a pointy triangular head, a round neck, and a long body. Not counting the four well-developed lizards…

A moment later…

Ye Chen finally accepted the fact that he had been reborn as a green-skinned lizard.

He had no choice but to accept it. He did not know how to turn back.

“Forget it, it is better to become a lizard than to die of cancer…”

With this kind of self-consolation…

Ye Chen started to slowly accept his current situation.

Then…

He felt a faint pain coming from his butt.

He quickly turned his head and found that his tail had been cut off.

He knew that lizards could cut off their tails to survive in times of crisis.

It seemed that before he transmigrated here, this lizard must have encountered some kind of irresistible danger, which was why it chose to cut off its tail to survive.

There were very few memory fragments in his mind.

After trying hard to piece them together, Ye Chen had a general understanding of his environment.

First of all, the lizard that he had transformed into was just a very common forest lizard.

That was because, in his memories, he had many ‘brothers and sisters’ and companions.

Moreover, he had never left this dense forest. This place was both his home and his shelter.

Even so, the dangers in the forest were still everywhere.

Needless to say, there were all kinds of predators.

Even his own kind would hunt and devour each other when they were starving.

His own tail should have been cut off when he was trying to escape from another bigger lizard.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen quickly left the water and climbed up the tree next to him.

Right now, his tail had not grown out yet, and he could not even cut off his tail to survive.

If he stayed by the water for too long, it would definitely be very dangerous.

Luckily, he had reincarnated a lizard, which was still moving very fast.

If he had been reincarnated as a snail, Ye Chen would have given up on resisting and would have died on the ground.

Soon.

Ye Chen lay on a thin tree trunk, carefully observing his surroundings.

Sitting and waiting for death, being mediocre, and doing nothing had never been Ye Chen’s character.

Even if he had been reincarnated as a lizard, he still wanted to be the strongest and most beautiful one in the forest!

First, he had to solve his lunch problem.

Ye Chen reached out his little paw and touched his stomach. He did not know how long it had been since he last ate, but the hunger in his stomach made it impossible for him to concentrate.

Fortunately, his subconscious hunting skills were still there. Plus, with his ‘intelligence’, it would be easy for him to satisfy his basic needs.

While Ye Chen was quietly hiding among the leaves, searching for food.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Then, two voices slowly approached and arrived at the river.

Ye Chen quickly pressed his body against the tree trunk. Even his breathing became extremely weak as he carefully looked at the two humans by the river.

When he saw the medieval-style armors they were wearing, Ye Chen was a bit confused. Were these two cosplaying?

Was the forest I am in some kind of camp?

Soon, the two people below started to chat while fetching water.

“Charlie, the quality of the elven woman we caught this time is just so-so.”

“Yeah, there’s nothing we can do about it. Over the years, our small hunting team alone has caught dozens of elves. It’s possible that we’ve caught all the elves in this forest.”

“It’s possible. It seems that we have to change places. Just this hunting operation alone, three of our brothers were eaten by magical beasts, and in the end, we caught an ordinary elf.”

“Hmm, I wonder if we can give it to the lord and ask him to exempt our town from the taxes this time…”

“Forget it, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s get some water and get some lizards, rabbits, and other prey. After we finish our lunch, we have to hurry.”

Then, the two people under the tree left after getting some water.

“Hunting team? Elves? Beasts? Lord?”

Ye Chen knew.

If it was not because the two were too engrossed in their cosplay, then the world he had traveled through was not simple…

Moreover, it was obvious that the latter was more likely.

However, for now, all of this was put aside.

Ye Chen quickly climbed up the tree again and found the safest place to lie down. He also pulled out a few leaves and covered his round body tightly.

When everything was ready, only his two extremely flexible eyes could be seen. He looked toward the group of carriages not far away.

In the group of carriages, there were more than ten humans wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands.

A few of them were peeling rabbits and lizards and roasting them on the fire.

In the middle of the group, there was a prison carriage. Inside the prison carriage, there was a girl with long golden hair and a pair of pointy ears. She was lying in the prison carriage, no one knew if she was dead or alive.

Seeing this, Ye Chen was completely convinced that he had traveled to another world.

Although the human nature made him pity the elf girl in the cart.

But, Ye Chen knew that he could not do anything right now.

Even if he revealed himself a little bit, his ending would probably not be any better than those ‘brothers and sisters’ who were dripping with oil and fragrance…

Just as Ye Chen looked at those ‘brothers and sisters’ who were dripping oil on the fire, tears flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

An arrow suddenly appeared on the neck of the leader who was closest to the prison carriage.

Seeing the leader lying on the ground…

The rest of the people in the carriage hurriedly picked up their weapons and became alert.

“Damn, it’s an elf!”

“Quick, take cover!”

However, no matter how they tried to hide, the arrows shot out from the forest seemed to have eyes.

After a short while, there was not a single human left in the entire convoy.

Then…

A few handsome-looking male and female elves walked out from the side of the forest. After saving the young girl in the prisoner carriage, they quickly retreated into the depths of the forest.

Ye Chen waited for a while, and after finding out that there was indeed no danger, he quickly climbed down from the tree trunk.

He then went to ‘save’ his fully matured companions and those few rabbits that had the same fate as him.

After eating for a while…

He cleaned up the last rabbit bone.

Only then did Ye Chen let out a satisfied burp. Looking at the pile of bones on the ground, he was a bit dazed.

“How come I only finished eating after eating so much?”

Ye Chen’s little claws touched his slightly bulging stomach, and he became a bit curious.

Logically speaking, half a rabbit’s meat was enough for him to eat until he was full.

But now, he had eaten four rabbits and seven lizards, but he was only barely full.

Just as Ye Chen was feeling a bit confused…

He suddenly felt that his genes were changing!

This feeling was mysterious and mysterious, but he did not know why, but he could feel it.

The rabbit’s genes that he had swallowed into his belly were rapidly decomposing, and then merging into his hind legs.

Meanwhile, the genes from similar lizards were spreading all over his body.

The broken tail on his back had returned to its original state in the blink of an eye!

Ye Chen lightly kicked his hind legs, and his whole body shot out.. Although the increase was not great, it was obviously faster than before!
